    USC SCA Internal Transfers?

    Hello! For any current/former SCA students, did you know people who changed majors from the other schools, particularly Dornsife? I see it is an option on their application page but they admit very small first-year cohorts so probably not as many transfers. I would think being at USC already...

    I completed my undergrad in 2020, so the very first thing I did was reach out to former professors (MONTHS in advance) and beg for a letter of recommendation.

    USC Visual sample question

    Let's say I'm applying to SCA's Writing for screen and television. I know that the visual sample is for people majoring in film production, but can I put a visual sample in my portfolio at least, and will the admission officers look at it?
